We have been learning about the package design of drinks, specifically focusing on carrier bags. In this lesson, students from Y7 to 9 were given the task of creating their own cup carriers.
To begin, we explored a variety of carrier bag designs and discussed our thoughts and feelings about them. This exercise helped us understand different design elements and their impact on the user experience. Once we had gathered inspiration and ideas, the students proceeded to design their cup carriers to perfectly fit their cups. This step ensured that the carriers would be functional and practical for holding their individual cups. With the cup as a reference, they began working on their unique designs, considering aspects such as shape, size, and handle placement. Throughout the process, students were encouraged to think creatively and experiment with different materials, colors, and patterns. They applied their understanding of aesthetics and functionality to craft carriers that not only protected the cups but also reflected their personal style. By engaging in this hands-on activity, students gained practical experience in package design while also honing their problem-solving and creative thinking skills.
This project will continue until next week.
